Thomas the Train

I have been flying solo this weekend because Randy has been in Virginia on a job interview. The timing never seems right when things like this happen--I've been sick and had a long week of track meets and a class trip to Dollywood- getting home late- and then Randy left Saturday at 4am and won't get back until after midnight on Sunday. So, I had Rody all to myself--all to my sick self--and seemingly getting sick Rody...

I decided to go to the walk-in clinic on Saturday morning to get looked at. So, I left Rody with Jerry and Oscar (Did I already tell you this in my previous post? I can't remember)..anyways...laryngitis/bronchitis and a steroid shot was what I got for that. And it has been hot as blazes here! 90 degrees on Saturday and Sunday--it was struggling to get to 70 just last week!

Our friends Bethany and Eric and their two boys had an extra ticket to go see Thomas the Train (which is great- because they were about 20 bucks a pop), so I thankfully took them up on their offer...Rody is not into Thomas yet--but I saw a glimpse into my world for the next few years...lots of 3-4 year old kids with crazy parents buying $8 balloons! I'm sorry...but I'll just go buy Rody one for a $1 at bi-lo...

Anyways, here are some pics documenting our sweltering afternoon in the hot sun enjoying Thomas the Train!

It was a good thing I remembered a stroller and sunscreen. For some reason I did not know it was going to be outside??!!

Ah, a petting zoo. Be careful of those horns, son.
Ah, and the train ride. That's Elijah and James in the background having a lovely time...and in the front...enough said!

Can you say "Choo Choo?"

And to document Rody's first encounter with Thomas at 13 months...

A good time was had by all...Randy, are you coming home soon?
